• Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokémon, is the grass-type Pokémon available to new Pokémon trainers in the Sinnoh region. It evolves into Grotle and then Torterra. Its Japanese name is ナエトル Naetle. It is the 387th Pokémon.• Selected Pokédex entry: Photosynthesis occurs across its body under the sun. The shell on its back is actually hardened soil.

• If Turtwig were real, it would be 1 foot, 4 inches tall (43 cm) and would weigh about 23 lbs (10 kg).

Here are some photographs of most, but not all, of my Turtwig items.
